  • C chriselst

    My daughter's homework this week is to think of an adjective, then think of an antonym for it that starts with the same letter. For example 'fragrant - flatulent' They have to try to get 26 of them, one for each letter of the alphabet. So off you go, have fun with it, I have no idea if it is even possible. I'm not really going to give her the answers, but I had a bit of a laugh coming up with amusing pairs, rude ones predictably, and haven't yet managed to get anything for x or z (or quite a few others that I haven't tried to think of so far).

    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

              I think zig and zag are synonyms, they are only opposite in execution, not in meaning.

                  I did consider it, there is a staggering lack of sense of humour amongst many that I expect it would have been shut down almost immediately.

                                  Hmm, don't know. For me a zag is definitely the complement of a zig.

                                    The definitions are the same, on their own they mean the same thing. When you have them together they are opposite to each other. And even more confusing, Zig & Zag have been given a new series that will be aired next year.

                                        Nice, but not all of these are adjectives. :)

                                          Hi Chris, you might be surprised at what new words/phrases have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary, the palladial/benchmark dictionary: the OED "word of the year" for 2015 is: [^] the ‘Face with Tears of Joy’ emoji. underbeard sideboob vape (2014 "word of the year") ruptured duck pod person po-faced tin hat fyi: zing, zonk, and x-factor are all in the OED, while xerographed doesn't appear as a separate entry, I consider it a fair extrapolation from xerography and xerographic which are valid entries. cheers, Bill
